Job Description

Join the Munson Healthcare Team!

Munson Healthcare and the Behavioral Health team are seeking a BE/BC physician to join our team of inpatient psychiatrists and APPs. This position is for service on our 17-bed, adult inpatient behavioral health unit. Schedule is 7-on and 7-off. Our hospital psychiatry team includes 2 Psychiatrists, a psychiatrist providing consultation and liaison, and 2 Advanced Practice Providers (PA/NP). The Psychiatrist covers the inpatient unit with one APP, typically splitting the patient load. The psychiatrist also covers consults on the weekend, which are limited. Call is one weekend day and one weekday during the week the psychiatrist is on service and none during the 7-off. Call is home call covering admissions and cross-coverage. Residents perform CMS required face-to-face evaluations overnight, so it is rare to be called into the hospital.

Join a not-for-profit healthcare system and find the right balance between a rewarding career with the ability to work completely remote.
